Is oat milk healthy for smoothies?

I prefer not to categorize foods as healthy or unhealthy, however oat milk is a great option for smoothies as it gives them a great texture and has a pretty mild flavor. It's also made with real, whole ingredients.

Are smoothies better with milk?

Yes! Smoothies made with milk - dairy free or regular - are always better than smoothies made with water. Oat milk (or dairy milk) helps give your smoothie an extra creamy texture and more flavor. Orange juice is also a great option if you're making a smoothie with mainly fruit.

Notes

A high speed blender or high quality blender is helpful in getting all the ingredients well combined. This Ninja blender is my absolute favorite! I love that it has the individual smoothie blender containers so that I can just dirty one small container if I prefer, instead of the entire blender pitcher.
Add as much or as little oat milk as you want! More oat milk is going make your smoothie thinner. Less oat milk is going to make is thicker. Just make sure you add enough oat milk so that all the ingredients can blend easily.
Feel free to switch up the ingredients and customize this smoothie to suit your taste. I don't *love* bananas but they are necessary to get that thick, creamy texture, so I only use half a banana. If you're a banana lover and want a thicker smoothie, add more banana! If you want to up the protein, add another scoop of peanut butter. Use this recipe as a blueprint and make it your own!
